In the beginning was the kennel
The first reinforced concrete structure produced by Freytag & Heidschuch oHG was a dog kennel for the company dog Flock. With this product, manufactured on a trial basis according to the Monier patent acquired shortly before, theory was successfully put into practice

Its production is, however, considered to mark the birth of reinforced concrete construction in Germany.
